So far Lemmy is vibing. Everyone here is excited and optimistic and willing to put up with a few rough spots to be part of something.

When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?

Sometimes when I am unsure about a post/comment I click on the user profile and if I see 10yrs / 100K karma, it helps forms my opinion and trust of the user.

And that's how you end up cutting off your toes because Gallowboob said so.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time .

I blocked them on Reddit as soon as I learned you could block people and I guarantee if they come to Lemmy they'll be the first people I block here.

I'm using they/them not for gender reasons but because there's no chance it was just one person running that account. Either multiple people or someone in tandem with a bot. And bots are people.

Yeah blocking the superusers on Reddit is the only way I can use it. It's insane how much a small amount of people will make up all the posts on /r/all
